[PATCH v3 46/46] perf/stat: revamp read error handling, snapshot and per_pkg events
From: David Carrillo-Cisneros
Date: Sat Oct 29 2016 - 20:41:13 EST
A package wide event can return a valid read even if it has not run in a
specific cpu, this does not fit well with the assumption that run == 0
is equivalent to a <not counted>.
To fix the problem, this patch defines special error values for val,
run and ena (~0ULL), and use them to signal read errors, allowing run == 0
to be a valid value for package events. A new value, (NA), is output on
read error and when event has not been enabled (timed enabled == 0).
Finally, this patch revamps calculation of deltas and scaling for snapshot
events, removing the calculation of deltas for time running and enabled in
snapshot event, as should be.
